I'm a 20-year-old guy and I've been dealing with this phlegm or mucus issue in my lungs. Its been more than a month now, and whenever I cough to spit it out, it just keeps coming back. The stuff I spit out is sticky and has some white in it. I havent seen a doctor about this yet, and Im kind of worried. Can you tell me what might be going on and what I should do about it?

View allWhat can we do to help my dad feel better? He's 57, retired, and usually manages his asthma well without meds, but recently he had a flare-up after cleaning the house. He's been using an Asthalin inhaler a bit more, but now on the fourth day, he still wheezes when breathing in and out and seems a bit uncomfortable. Any advice on what could help his symptoms?
kindly continue the treatment,it takes time to relive symptoms

I'm a bit worried because I was diagnosed with pulmonary TB about two months ago and was put on akt 4 treatment. After staying on the meds for two months, my latest AFB test came back negative and my X-ray looks good, so that's a relief. But here's what's bothering me: I occasionally feel kind of feverish like my body feels warm, but when I check my temperature with a thermometer, there's no fever. Is this something normal after being on TB treatment?
Yes episodes of fever are common during the treatment, continue the treatment for a minimum period of 6 months and eat healthy.

I'm feeling this weird vibration in my right lower lung when I breathe, mostly at night when I'm trying to sleep. There's no pain, just this funny sensation. But sometimes if I take a deep breath or move a certain way, I get a sharp, needle-like pain. It's growing concerning, and I'm wondering what's going on. Can you shed some light on this?
The vibration and occasional sharp pain you feel in your lower lung could be due to muscle strain, mild inflammation in the pleura (lining of the lungs), or even trapped air in small airways. If it persists or worsens, consult a doctor for a thorough check-up to rule out any lung or musculoskeletal issues.
